Peel Dream Magazine Announce Rose Main Reading Room LP

Peel Dream Magazine announces their album Rose Main Reading Room will drop on September 4th, 2024 via on Topshelf Records (Ekko Astral, Code Orange). Ahead of the LP’s arrival the band have shared a video for “Lie In The Gutter.” The band will be touring this August with Wild Nothing.

The band, whose name nods to the BBC Radio 1 legend John Peel, music Set to the backdrop of New York City and its towering landmarks — The American Museum of Natural History, Grand Central Station, and the like — songwriter Joseph Stevens weaves personal stories into the wider fabric of the natural world, touching on themes of instinct, animality, and evolution.

Of the song and the video, Peel Dream Magazine’s Joe Stevens writes:

“This video is cut from footage we filmed on a few different tours between the fall of 2023 and Spring of 2024, and I love it because it captures the amazing feeling and energy that those trips had. There’s cameos from bands we were touring with like Chastity Belt and Gift, and friends like Simi Sohota from Healing Potpourri. A lot of it was shot in the Pacific Northwest and features some hikes we got to take among the dense green forests up there. I wanted to capture that stuff because this theme of “the natural world” has been jostling around my my brain for awhile and is a big part of the album. The song is meant to be a very simple statement about finding joy and wonder in life despite whatever may be on your mind. The phrase it’s taken from is the trite but sweet Oscar Wilde quote ‘We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars’. ”
